Eyebrow contour guide

ABSTRACT

An eyebrow contour guide comprising a scaled alignment member which is placed on the nose, a movable scaled arcuate member having therein an arcuate slot, which is placed over the eyebrow, one end of said arcuate member being pivotally secured to the top end of the alignment member, a sliding member adapted for movement along the length of the alignment member, and a movable pointer, one end of which is attached to the sliding member and whose other end moves arcuately on the scale of the arcuate member.

This invention relates to cosmetic devices, and more particularly toguides for shaping the eyebrows.

There are a number of devices available to the beautician for aid inshaping the eyebrows. These include stencils, patches and embossedprinting devices. The devices now available are not easy to align andfrequently are awkward to use. In the case of patches, removal causesdiscomfort. Because of difficulty in alignment, the shaping is rarelythe same for both eyebrows resulting in a misshapen appearance. Thereare devices available which combine stencils provided with handles orguides for engaging some other part of the face, frequently the nose,but these devices do not provide for differences in the shapes of theface and nose.

It is, accordingly, an object of the present invention to provide guidesfor shaping the eyebrows (eyebrow contour guides) which will providesubstantially the same shape to each eyebrow.

It is another object of the present invention to provide an eyebrowcontour guide which is easy to align on the face of the user, and can beused for all types of faces regardless of their shapes.

Other objects and structural and functional features will be apparentfrom the following detailed description taken in conjunction with theaccompanying drawings.

In accordance with the present invention there is provided an eyebrowcontour guide comprising a scaled alignment member which is placed onthe nose, a movable scaled arcuate member having therein an arcuateslot, which is placed over the eyebrow, one end of said arcuate memberbeing pivotally secured to the top end of the alignment member, asliding member adapted for movement along the length of the alignmentmember, and a movable pointer one end of which is pivotally attached tothe sliding member and the other end moves arcuately on the scale of thearcuate member.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an eyebrow contour guide of the presentinvention;

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof in the position for beingplaced over the left eyebrow;

FIG. 3 is an edge elevational view of the outer side thereof;

FIG. 4 is a view showing a full face view of a person using the eyebrowcontour guide on the left eyebrow; and

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of another eyebrow contour guide accordingto the present invention.

Referring to the drawings which illustrate preferred embodiments of theinvention, reference number 10 generally indicates the eyebrow contourguide. The guide comprises an alignment member 11 for placing on thenose. The alignment member is preferably composed of 2 spaced,substantially parallel opposing sections 12 and 13 of exactly the sameshape, which are secured to each other at their ends by means of hollowrivents 14 and 15. The outer portion of each section is provided with ascale 16. The alignment member may be constructed of a single section 25as shown in FIG. 5. Pivotally secured to the top end of the alignmentmember on the rivet is an arcuate member 17 which is placed over theeyebrow. The arcuate member is provided with an arcuate slot 18 alongsubstantially most of its length and a scale 19. A sliding member 20 isplaced between the spaced parallel opposing sections of the alignmentmember, to which a movable pointer 21 is pivotally secured at one of itsends 22, and whose other end 23 moves arcuately along the scale of thearcuate member. Preferably, for ease in viewing, the pointer is composedof transparent material such as lucite, and is provided with anindicator line 24.

The device may be constructed of any lightweight, substantially rigidmaterial which is non-toxic and non-irritating. Preferably, a plasticmaterial is used.

In using the eyebrow contour guide of the present invention the arch ofthe arcuate shaped member is laid against the user's brow line. Thealignment member is then aligned with the user's nose. The calibrationof the setting for the user is then determined by sliding the movablemember into alignment with the nostril of the user. The movable pointeris then moved to the number on the alignment member over the highestpoint of the arch of the eyebrow. The arcuate member is then moved sothat the slot is placed over the eyebrow and marks are made over 3points, the point closest to the nose, the high point as determinedabove, and the point furthest from the nose. This will exactly determinethe perfect shape and length of the user's eyebrow. To duplicate theeyebrow shape on the other side, the guide is reversed and the samecalibrated numbers previously determined are used.

I claim:
 1. An eyebrow contour guide comprising a scaled alignmentmember which is placed on the nose, a movable scaled arcuate memberhaving therein an arcuate slot, which is placed over the eyebrow, oneend of said arcuate member being pivotally secured to the top end of thealignment member, a sliding member adapted for movement along the lengthof the alignment member, and a movable pointer one end of which ispivotally attached to the sliding member and whose other end movesarcuately on the scale of the arcuate member.
 2. An eyebrow contourguide according to claim 1, wherein the alignment member comprises twospaced, substantially parallel opposing sections of the same shape whichare secured to each other at their ends.
 3. An eyebrow contour guideaccording to claim 1, wherein the end of the pointer moving along thescale of the arcuate member is provided with an indicator line.
